To (EZZ wkOf/L it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, PHlLIP L. DrLLs, a citizen of the United States residing at Blairsville; in the county of Union, State of tjeorgia, have inventeda; new anduseful Dough-Mixing Tray and Board; and ll do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof theinvention such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. 7 v

The invention relates to dough mixing trays and boards and has for itsobject to provide a. device of this character compris ing a dough mixing tray in which the dough i is mixed and worked and to provide in connection therewith a dough board on which the dough may be rolled and formed as1desired. Also to provide collapsible legs carriedby the under face of the board so that said board may have its upper face supported in the same horizontal plane asthe 7 upper face of the tray, said collapsible legs being adapted to be folded against one side of the board and the board as a whole folded onto the top of the tray, thereby collapsing the same into compact form for storage and other purposes.

A further object is to provide'the board with brackets for holding a conventional form of rolling pin so that said rolling pin may at all times when not in use be stored p as shown m Figure 4 for holding the legs '7 with the device. 7 V

With the above andother objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in I Figure 1 is a perspective view of thede vice showing the same in collapsed position. Figure 2 is a sectional view through the .dough tray and board showing the board supported so that the dough tray can be folded outwardly on its hinging point so that it will rest on the support on which the le s rest.

Secured to the under are. battens 6 which battens form means atfth'e same time form' limiting stops and faceof the boarde Referring to the drawings the numeral 1: a

I wherebytheboard is kept from Warping and braces for the foldable legs '7 which legs are I hinge'dly connectedras at 8 to the under face of the board 5. *Thelegs 7 are adapted to rest upon a supporting table or othersur-face as shown in Figures 3 and 4t andarepheldiin their extended positions by meansof a pivoted bar 9, which bar is pivoted as at 10 to a batten 11 which is secured to the underface of the board l. The batten 11 is suflicientlv thick so that when the legs '7 are-folded inte the space-s between the battens 6 and 11,)the

bar 9 may be extended to the position against the under face of the board 5 after which the board 5 maybe folded onto-thetop of the dough tray'1. as shown in Figure 1 thereby collapsing the same to reduce its bulk for storage purposesr c Secured to'the under face of the board 5', at one'edge there-, v of are U-shaped members 13, the. arms ofwhich have suflicient spring so that it will hold conventional form of rolling pin 1%,

"the object being to provide means whereby;

the rolling pin maybe held and supported on the cornbineddough tray and board 'when I the same is not in usethereby obviating the same. 7

' From the above it of loss or misplacement ofthe 7 9 wlll be seen that a com bined dough. tray and board is provided 1 whlch is simple n construction, compact'in form and one wherein all of the usual de vices used in Working dough in a kitchen are combined together so that they will be always ready for use.

The invention having been set forth what is claimed ats-news and useful is 1. The combination With a dough mixing tray, of a board hingedly connected to one edge thereof and adapted to be supported, in

substantially the same horizontal plane astheeupper side of the tray, supporting legs for supporting the board, said legs being hingedly connected to the bottom face "of the board, a centrally pivoted bar pivoted cen- Vttallybetvveen the legs and to the board,

said bar being so positioned in relation to the bottombf the board that it \yill hold the legs extended or collapsed against the bottom 'of'the boardasdesired and members engaging the outer faces of the legs for'limiting andbracing the legs in their outward movement against th'ejamming action of the centrally pivoted bar.

2, The combination with a dough mixing tray, of a cover hingedly connected to one side thereof and adapted to be supported in the same horizontal plane as the upper side of the; tray, supporting legs for supporting said board, said legs being hingedly connected to the bottom face of the board at points spaced from its sides and at right angles from the hinged side of the board, said supporting le s comprising elongated members, stops for limiting the outward movebottom of the board said bar will engage over said legs and hold them in collapsed position.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
